Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the site is suitable for residential development, having regard to its location, the proposed land use and the amount of development
What decided it
The proposed development would be inherently harmful to the character and appearance of the area due to the site's limited size, which would result in an incongruous and cramped dwelling that would intrude into the sense of space created by existing rear gardens and break the established building line.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy 13Policy 28Policy D3
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
